GXO had already acquired Wincanton in April 2024; the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) imposed a hold-separate order, appointed a monitoring trustee and, in Phase 2, found a lessening of competition in dedicated warehousing services for grocery retail. Under the final undertakings, GXO committed to divest Wincanton’s business serving supermarket customers.

11 Apr 2025 Svarog Shipping & Trading Company LimitedTanker shipping company Svarog left OFSI information request unanswered United KingdomBreaches of sanctions and embargoes €5,768

In the context of investigations into dealings with a Sovcomflot subsidiary, the fuel shipping company registered in the UK and operating from Cyprus did not respond in time to a formal information request from HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI); a response only came after contact via its auditors. No sanctions breach as such was found, but the information offence was.

What organisations can take from it

Information requests from sanctions authorities need a clear intake channel and deadline monitoring – merely missing the deadline is already an offence.
